For those who don’t know, the WSJ (a Murdoch paper) opinion section is notoriously conservative, so this is pretty significant.
I would post a link to it directly, but none of the paywall bypass options worked for me, so there wouldn’t be much point.
Very significant. Their coalition is no different from ours, formed of many different factions that don’t agree on a whole lot. They’re just better at taking marching orders and falling in line behind their candidate.
We do have an opportunity to peel away people that aren’t so fond of overt fascism and add to our election tally though, so, I’m not complaining. Even when its a neocon defecting.
In addition to peeling off people that aren’t so eager for dictatorship, we also have an opportunity to peel off genuinely religious people, who actually try to follow Jesus’ message. While most religious people do it more as a club membership, the genuinely devout can be reminded what their lord and savior actually instructed them to do.
